About Citing eTextbooks and other Course Materials

In the box below, you will find examples of references and in-text citations for each source. Select the type of course material you are citing using the tabs.

In-text citation examples shown are for paraphrases and summaries (Author-Date pattern). When citing a direct quote, you will also need to include either a page number or paragraph number (Author-Date-# pattern). Visit the In-Text Citations tab to the left for more information!

Remember:

​In-text citations are located within the text of your paper and references are located in the references page at the end of your paper.
